Living in a home without lights makes reading difficult, increases toe stubbings, and pretty much guarantees skeleton attacks. Stock up on skeleton repellant with today’s Groupon: for $39, you get $80 worth of lighting and accessories at Wilson Lighting and Interiors in Towson.

Since 1919, the knowledgeable staff at Wilson Lighting and Interiors have illuminated thousands of lamps, fixtures, and lighting accessories for customers. Set a shabby-chic parlor aglow with a distressed lamp base ($53), perhaps topping it with a classic hand-stitched Canterbury lampshade ($74). Nightlights ($11.50) comfort nocturnal pets and boogeymen banished to dark closets. Beacons for all purposes await dusky corners in the comprehensive bulb department, including three-way bulbs ($3.60) and full-spectrum bulbs ($17) that form a perfect spotlight for the prima-donna hand of the after-dinner puppet show.
